The 12V – 14V outlets are suitable to charge most size lead 

acid type car batteries while the appliance outlet will run 

most 12V appliances fitted with the car cigarette type plug, 

rated up to 5A.

To use the appliance outlet

The appliance outlet will provide power to run most 

appliances which plug directly into the car cigarette socket 

up to a current rating of 5A. This includes spot lights up to 

around 55W, small car type air compressors, small type 

blowers and  some small refrigerators etc. The output 

voltage from the DC appliance outlet is between 12V and 

14.2V, the same as a car.

WARNINGS

Check the rating of the appliance prior to inserting the plug 

into the socket.
The plug  from the appliance should always be fitted with an 

internal fuse.

DO NOT

 attempt to insert a cigarette lighter into the socket.

1. Ensure the appliance to be connected is turned off.
2. Check the rating of the appliance is not above 5A or 60W.
3. Start the generator and allow the generator to warm up.
4. Open the cover on the 

appliance socket and insert 

the appliance plug (Fig. N).

5. Turn on the appliance.

Note.

 If the appliance does not 

operate, check the DC  

reset button on the generator 

control panel. Press the  

button to reset.

Note.

 The 12V appliance socket can also be used with  

the 240V AC outlets being used.

To use the battery charging outlet

The generator is fitted with 

a socket outlet specifically 

for connection to a lead acid 

battery for charging and also 

for an additional power supply 

(Fig. O).
The output voltage is between 

12 – 14.2V with a maximum 

output current of 5A.
The generator will charge lead 

acid batteries of various sizes, from small to large.

DO NOT

 charge the electric start battery mounted on the 

generator with the out put from the battery charging socket 

of the generator.

To charge a battery

WARNINGS. 

It is suggested to wear protective clothing, 

gloves and eye protection when handling and working with 

lead acid batteries.
For operators with pacemakers or similar medical devices 

and conditions, it is recommended not to attempt the 

following procedure.

DO NOT

 attempt to charge a lead acid battery in confined 

areas. Ensure the charging process takes place in an area 

where there is fresh air circulating.
Remove the battery from the car, boat or any other device. 

The battery MUST be totally isolated from any other circuitry.
1. Connect the supplied cables 

to the battery terminals. 

Using the colour coding, the 

clamps on the cable MUST 

be connected as follows. 

RED clip to the + Positive 

terminal on the battery, and 

Black Clip to the – negative 

terminal on the battery  

(Fig. P).
